It took the Second World War to change the course of history. It took the fall of the USSR and demolition of the Berlin Wall to serve the next inflection point. The bar is considerably lower in the age of social media. Bickering heads of states in a ‘live’ televised showdown, amplified on X, is the totem of our times, where the course of history may turn on empty grandstanding.
There was Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Justin Trudeau of Ukraine in war fatigues at the Oval Office. He appeared more interested in playing to the gallery than signing a critical deal with the United States that may keep his country afloat. On the other side were the American president and the vice president, leading an America in retreat, eager to close the rare earths deal and push the deadly conflict towards an early denouement.
